When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0032] This invention proposes a vehicle body.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle body includes:

[0034] Side enclosure, wherein a doorway is formed in the side enclosure;

[0035] A front door 100 and a sliding door 200 are installed in the doorway, with the front door 100 located in front of the sliding door 200, and the sliding door 200 sliding backward relative to the front door 100; and

[0036] The first sealing element 300 includes a first sealing strip 310 and a second sealing strip 320. The first sealing strip 310 is disposed on the inner side of the front part of the sliding door 200, and the second sealing strip 320 is disposed on the outer side of the front part of the sliding door 200. The first sealing strip 310 and the second sealing strip 320 seal the joint between the sliding door 200 and the front door 100 when the sliding door 200 is closed.

[0037] In the technical solution of this invention, a first sealing element 300 is provided at the front of the sliding door 200. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the first sealing element 300 can seal the connection between the sliding door 200 and the front door 100, thereby reducing the possibility of water entering the connection between the sliding door 200 and the front door 100. Specifically, the first sealing element 300 includes a first sealing strip 310 disposed on the outer side of the sliding door 200 and a second sealing strip 320 disposed on the inner side of the sliding door 200. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the first sealing strip 310 can seal the seam between the front door 100 and the sliding door 200 on the outer side, and the second sealing strip 320 can seal the seam between the front door 100 and the sliding door 200 on the inner side. This greatly improves the sealing performance between the sliding door 200 and the front door 100, significantly reduces the possibility of water entering the connection between the sliding door 200 and the front door 100, and thus improves the user experience.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the first sealing element 300 further includes a connecting portion 330, through which the first sealing strip 310 and the second sealing strip 320 are connected. This improves the connection stability between the first sealing element 300 and the sliding door 200. Furthermore, when the sliding door 200 is closed, the first connecting portion 331 can abut against the front door 100, further enhancing the sealing performance between the front door 100 and the sliding door 200, thereby further reducing the possibility of water ingress at the connection between the sliding door 200 and the front door 100.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting portion 330 includes a first connecting portion 331, through which the upper ends of the first sealing strip 310 and the second sealing strip 320 are connected. The vehicle body also includes two second sealing elements 400 respectively disposed on the inner and outer sides of the door opening. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the two ends of the first connecting portion 331 abut against the two second sealing elements 400 respectively. The second sealing element 400 can be a sealing ring structure or a sealing strip structure. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the connecting portion 330 abuts against the front door 100 and the sliding door 200 on opposite sides in the front-rear direction, and the two ends of the first connecting portion 331 can abut against the two second sealing elements 400 respectively, thus simultaneously sealing the upper part of the sliding door 200 and the door opening, as well as the upper part of the front door 100 and the door opening, thereby sealing the connection between the upper parts of the front door 100 and the sliding door 200. Therefore, the first sealing element 300 in this embodiment can further improve the sealing performance between the front door 100 and the sliding door 200, thereby further reducing the possibility of water ingress at the connection between the front door 100 and the sliding door 200, and further improving the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, another sealing element may be provided at the upper part of the door opening. After the sliding door 200 is closed, this sealing element, together with the first sealing strip 310 and the second sealing strip 320, seals the upper part of the front door 100 and the sliding door 200 to ensure that the upper part of the front door 100 and the sliding door 200 can be sealed.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle body also includes a dust cover 110, which is disposed on the upper part of the front door 100. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the two sides of the first connecting portion 331 abut against the sliding door 200 and the dust cover 110, respectively. The dust cover 110 is used to prevent dust from entering the door body of the front door 100. After the sliding door 200 is closed, the opposite sides of the first connecting portion 331 abut against the dust cover 110 and the sliding door 200 in the front-rear direction, respectively, to seal the connection between the upper parts of the front door 100 and the sliding door 200, thereby further improving the sealing performance between the front door 100 and the sliding door 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting portion 331 may abut against the door body of the front door 100 after the sliding door 200 is closed.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first connecting portion 331 includes a main body 3311 and sealing lips 3312 connected to both ends of the main body 3311. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the dust cover 110 abuts against the main body 3311, and one of the sealing lips 3312 abuts against a second sealing member 400. Without loss of generality, in this embodiment, the sealing lips 3312 are connected to the ends of the main body 3311 and extend in an arc shape away from the main body 3311. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the sealing lips 3312 at both ends of the main body 3311 abut against the second sealing members 400 on the inner and outer sides of the door opening one by one. When the sliding door 200 is opened, the sealing lips 3312 can slide out of the door opening. In this way, the connecting portion 330 can both provide a sealing function when the sliding door 200 is closed and will not interfere with the normal opening of the sliding door 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the second seal 400 may be provided with a lip structure that mates with the end of the first connection portion 331.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 330 further includes a second connecting portion (not shown), through which the lower end of the first sealing strip 310 and the lower end of the second sealing strip 320 are connected. This further improves the connection stability between the first sealing member 300 and the sliding door 200. Wherein, after the sliding door 200 is closed, the second connecting portion is not limited to abutting against the second sealing member 400 below the doorway, because the lowest point of the doorway is lower than the upper surface of the vehicle's interior floor, and water entering below the doorway will quickly drip outwards without entering the vehicle's interior. That is, there is no risk of water entering below the doorway, and the second connecting portion does not need to seal against the second sealing member 400 after the sliding door 200 is closed. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting portion 330 may also include multiple second connecting portions disposed below the first connecting portion 331, with the multiple second connecting portions spaced apart in the vertical direction.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first sealing strip 310 and the second sealing strip 320 are provided with a deformable portion 301. The deformable portion 301 has a cavity, and when the sliding door 200 is closed, the deformable portion 301 abuts against the front door 100. The deformable portion 301 can be a bubble tube structure. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the deformable portion 301 can deform and interference fit between the sliding door 200 and the front door 100 to reliably seal the joint between them. The cavity in the deformable portion 301 helps improve its toughness. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the cavity acts as a buffer, making the deformable portion 301 less prone to damage, thereby extending the service life of the first sealing element 300.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a first mounting portion 210 is provided on the inner side of the front part of the sliding door 200, and a first sealing strip 310 is installed on the first mounting portion 210. A second mounting portion 220 is provided on the outer side of the sliding door 200, and a second sealing strip 320 is installed on the second mounting portion 220. The first mounting portion 210 is positioned further forward than the second mounting portion 220. Thus, when the front door 100 and the sliding door 200 are opened and closed, the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 220 will not interfere with the front door 100. When the front door 100 is closed, the sliding door 200 will not be interfered with when it slides to the side and rear to open or to the front to close. When the sliding door 200 is closed, the front door 100 can also be opened and closed freely. This allows for the sequential opening and closing of the sliding door 200 and the front door 100, making the operation of opening and closing vehicle doors more convenient and facilitating cargo loading and unloading and passenger entry and exit. Specifically, when the first sealing strip 310 and the second sealing strip 320 are respectively installed on the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 220, the first sealing strip 310 is positioned further forward than the second sealing strip 320, which further reduces interference when the front door 100 and the sliding door 200 are opened and closed. Furthermore, the front of the sliding door 200 is also provided with a connecting section 230 connecting the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 220. The connecting section 230 extends backward at an inward angle to further reduce interference when the front door 100 and the sliding door 200 are opened and closed.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting part 210 protrudes forward from the connecting section 230, and the first sealing strip 310 is provided with a connecting groove 311. The first mounting part 210 is inserted and fixed in the connecting groove 311. Figure 5As shown, the second mounting portion 220 extends backward at an angle away from the connecting section 230, and the second sealing strip 320 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion 321, which is fastened to the second mounting portion 220. The first mounting portion 210 thus formed can be positioned further forward than the second mounting portion 220, allowing the first sealing strip 310 and the second sealing strip 320 to be stably mounted on the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 220, respectively. Specifically, the groove wall of the connecting groove 311 of the first sealing strip 310 is embedded with a skeleton, and each side wall of the connecting groove 311 is provided with a row of inwardly inclined lip structures. The first mounting portion 210 is inserted between the two rows of lip structures to ensure the connection stability between the connecting groove 311 and the first mounting portion 210. The second mounting portion 220 is provided with a locking hole, through which the snap-fit ​​portion 321 passes and engages, so that the second sealing strip 320 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting portion 220. In this embodiment, the cavity of the deformable portion 301 of the first sealing strip 310 is not connected to the connecting groove 311, and the cavity of the second deformable portion 301 is not connected to the snap-fit ​​portion 321, to ensure the buffering effect of the deformable portion 301. Of course, in other embodiments, the first sealing strip 310 and the second sealing strip 320 can also be fixedly connected to the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 220 respectively by adhesive bonding.

[0046] The present invention also proposes a vehicle, which includes a vehicle body. The specific structure of the vehicle body is as described in the above embodiments. Since the vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
